So, awhile back, Bravo and I went to the Korean War Memorial. Outside, they have all different kinds of tanks, helicopters, planes, and some ships as well. I was dragged around to many a war memorial as a child, so seeing these kind of made me groan. The statues and architecture were really breath taking. There are walls upon walls of names. It's always an eye opener how much a war impacts life when you see them all in type, staring back at you. One famous statue that I liked was the statue of the 2 brothers. They were fighting on opposites sides of the Korean War and found eachother on the field. It's a huge statue and beautiful.
The other tributes inside were interesting as well. There is a reflection pond and my favorite, the tear drop made from army tags. The pictures won't do anything justice, but this war memorial was definitely worth the subway trip.
